I have never seen that photo of the the Soviet soldier w/grenade still in his hand.
Some facinating photos here.

I had wondered that myself Tom. It appears he is looking directly at the camera,and seems to be quite comfy. But if it's ligit........

The breech assembly of the gun might have accounted for the angle of the head, but if the man is dead why the body or the face was not covered is beyond me.
